ATD Talent Development CPTD Question # 22 Topic 3 Discussion
CPTD Exam Topic 3 Question 22 Discussion:
Question #: 22
Topic #: 3
Some talent development professionals skip Level 2 evaluations thinking Levels 3 and 4 are sufficient to prove success. Why is this a dangerous assumption?
A.
Levels 1 to 4 must be completed in stepped order
B.
Level 2 evaluations are the only way to confirm application of knowledge
C.
If Level 3 and Level 4 results are poor, the training quality could be questioned
D.
Level 4 evaluations require data captured during Level 2 evaluations
Kirkpatrick’s Four Levels of Evaluation(Certification Reading List) state that "without Level 2 (learning) data, poor performance outcomes at Level 3 or 4 could easily be blamed on poor training even if external factors are responsible".
Skipping Level 2 leaves no proof of what learning actually occurred.
